2000s JM Kiddie Rides Coin Operated Elephant Kiddie Ride

Описание: Filmed at Barry Island Pleasure Park on June 4th 2019.

I am unsure of the manufacturer of this ride, but the base is typical of those used by J.M Kiddie Rides of Lowestoft, a company who started manufacturing coin operated rides in the mid-70s.

The J.M Kiddie Rides company was dissolved in 2008, but there are a few records of a company named "Funtime Kiddie Rides" in Lowestoft who seem to be connected somehow...possibly the company was simply re-named but I still need to confirm that.

The elephant toy itself was originally designed as part of RJ Newborough's range of rides in the 1970s.
